[QUOTE="lucheski, post: 16123375, member: 45286"] Thank you for sharing this I was about to begrudgingly drop 600 bucks on a billet tensioner, but I would like to try the Roush first. I am spinning my 2.8 Mammoth pretty hard and I was getting belt slip at upper rpms with stock tensioner w/ metco brace. 3.0upper /2lb lower slipped too much so I had to drop down to 3.25/2lb (less boost than I'd like). I always noticed how much the braced stock tensioner jumps up and down during a dyno pull, the issue is not just the tensioner arm too weak and needing brace but alsto be the spring tension in the stock tensioner is not enough. The tuner decided to put on a super short belt that im sure took 2 or 3 people to put it on which eliminated slip. However I cut the belt off after 2k miles since I am concerned about accelerated front bearing wear and issues running a tight belt. The tensioner with a heavier spring is the right way to go IMO. I will be testing the 3v tensioner with my setup [/QUOTE]
